Altenew July 2018 Stamp/Die Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

by Zinia Redo

Today is release day over at Altenew and you are going to love every single product of this release! I’m super excited to join the release blog hop along with so many talented crafters.

For this blog hop I created a couple of cards and layout focusing on some of my most favorite coordinating dies that are included in this release.

The first card is using the Gradient Sunset stamp and die set. I thought it will be fun to use some of the dies without their coordinating stamp images so I cut out a few palm trees and birds to use them on their own.

I also created multiple cards using the Needleword Motif stamp and die. I really love the images in this set and they are an amazing centerpiece to create quick and simple cards with a lot of character.

For each card I used a combination of different techniques to add some color to the die cut pieces and finish off the cards.

The layout I created is also using the Needlework Motif stamp and dies to create a showstopping decorative arrangement.

Most of the die-cut pieces are just inked without the stamp to add color on the background. Then I stamped and die-cut the beautiful floral motif images on some vellum to layer on top of the first ones.

I love your twist on using the outline or die images to color and add an fun element to your layouts. I forget that you don’t always have to use my dies with their stamps! So pretty. Favorite products from this release? I originally thought that the lovely leafy frame was my favorite item, but seeing you use that great alphabet has me rethinking my preference! Love seeing it in just black and white. Fun blog stop today – thank you!
